London, United K...
Another installment from my Marilyn pattern variation series; a cross between Thai fish pants, serouel and tailored trousers. Easy pull on and off without button nor zipper. I only walked 500 metres wearing them so I won't garantee they will sit neatly in place around the waist. I will sew snap fasteners inside the pleat to add extra 'security' (the pants down business). Anyway, they won't go any further my hips unless someone pulls real hard!. I tried to figured out how Anne Valrie Hash trousers were constructed from a picture found in a magazine (Grazia, February 2010). I started with the template I previously used for Triptych 1/3 (Drape Drape 1- pattern 1). While completing the garment, Burdamagazine published an interesting pattern: http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/082010-trousers-with-front-pleat, which construction is cunning. It could have spared me some time in the making. I am planning to adjust my pattern accordingly: for instance widening the legs. Also, the waist curve might scoop too much, and it is also slightly too high. The side pockets are too narrow to slip my hand-room for improvement! In my opinion, the whole garment could gain sophistication if the pleat section was only wrapping the hip rather than 'diving' along the leg. I will further my adjustments using heavy duty corduroy this time and cut oversized button holes at waist level to accommodate a belt. I like manageable and sturdy fabric. This gabardine creases like hell and this colour is really unpractical (stain magnet). The first picture might be blurry but I couldn't face going through another ironing endeavour nor another self timer/ tripod photo-shoot session….gggrrrrrhhh! Gabardine has obviously put my patience to the test!

Nice trousers.:-)

Nice trousers, I think they look very good. Don't mind about the creases, these trousers can be worn casual. If you make them in another kind of fabric they will look completely different, so its a good patern you made! Istead of buttons you can also use ribbon, when you close it in front in a bow it can look very smart!

How kan I get acces to the pattern?
New here.

You've done it again! Making a pair of trousers without all of those pesky buttons and zippers would be a dream come true for someone like me who has such little free time to sew. I always look forward to your projects and these are definitely unique and stylish!

very nice! i will try it too..

thanks for answering! I found what I meant in laurianas post and link…Couldn't bring myself to watch the pant tent-thing yet , whatever it might be. Mon dieu, …I was just asking for some innocent wrapping method :)) Congratulations for being featured member!!

Thanks and sorry I got carried away trying to apply words to the whole process when a simple sketch explains it all. And if Lauriana accommodated this lack: all good! It is hard to describe a procedure inside a comment box when a 'How to' could be posted! And what can I say in regard to THE wrap: trust the wisdom of my old age: and remember:EXplore EXperiment (I am hypnotizing you…on the count of 5-4—3-2—1…Wrap!) :)
Anyway I am sure these type of trousers suit you very well. I am a short person that didn't put me off the 'pant-tent effect (I have to warn you this is really silly) and it is better to watch the whole episode to put it in context! Mon dieu, quel blabla again!!!I wrap it upx

you simply give new definitions to pants;) I love them in the last pic with high heels, no woman could deny craving for them! freshly creative!

Pajama would do! :) Once I reap them off to alter the pattern I will sew them back for that purpose!Some people get their daily morning bread and newspaper in pajamas, so can I!
Nov 17, 2010, 04.45 AMby juebejue
woo! this looks very classy on you! now i am thinking twice about pleated highwaist pants!
Nov 16, 2010, 05.24 PMby seazoo
Ohhhh! You've got me there!:)) the waist curving line , the center press and the beautifully hip line… and length… I could understand your particular plan of this trousers! and the pockets are very important ;-) Functional and Beautiful. This trousers has both! great great great!
Nov 16, 2010, 04.08 PMby lauriana
Nice… I actually like the pleat going down the leg. And the high waist. At first, I thought the pattern would be a milder version of what I made for my wrap trousers back in summer. I blogged about it with a picture of the pattern here
I'm intrigued by your trousers-without-fly journey. And I'm starting to think I should try and travel along for a bit ;-)

extraordinary cool, your trousers! that's what I was looking for when I did my experimental-wrap which failed… I won't copy your funny pattern pieces…too much fighting with the patterns I already have :)))
Nov 16, 2010, 01.19 PMby freaky-philomeen
oh, I forgot: How did you manage that part where you normally sew the zipper? I tried to "leave that out" once and made some wrapping instead because the pattern was too large anyway…but the whole thing just 'didn't close' especially when sitting. And I've had that "hip-diving" problem too. Sewing's really a science ;)))

What do you mean? The groin section being too wide, is that right?
Have a look at the first episode of 'Curb your enthusiasm' and tell me if I got you right re the matter that could be denominated as the 'pants tent effect'
If it doesn't work google 'pants tent' on youtube.:) Don't know if you'll like the type of humour…
Thanks for your comment! would love to get hold of one of those 'Boy London' t-shirts!
Nov 16, 2010, 01.12 PMby freaky-philomeen
Fantastic idea, this triptychon! It's a pity I cannot wear pants with anything wrapped and "too much fabric around the hips" as I am too short :)))
Love the "BOY London"-Shirt. Are they still available, haven't seen it for ages!

Another interesting pair of trousers! Love your style this time! It does scream Marlene Dietrich, though!

This style suits you really well. Would really like the Marlene Dietrich Style to your bodyshape and type!!! What I really don't like is the lenght of these trousers. In germany we call this pants: 'Carotte' ! That is true! ;) I wore them in the 80th, but today nevermore! ;) (My english is bad… I failed to read your describing text up to now… . Sorry!)

I like the wrapping in the waist but think that something needs to be done with the legs, maybe narrowing them … And love the idea about the corduroy – think it will look very interesting!

yeah you are right! I have pointed this leg issue in my description! heavy duty cordury, that's what I have in mind!
Nov 16, 2010, 10.50 AMby anajan
Lookin' great Carotte! The style really suits you. You can play further more with legs' length. You should try using some striped fabric – it would accentuate an unusual pleating and shape of the pants.

Mitch would definitely take wickets so it's a like for like trade
The not having played for some time business makes me think he's less likely tbh. But yes he's still more likely than my other bowlers.
You're seriously going to swap Patto for Mitch?

POWELL, Wyo. - The federal government is asking a judge to throw out a lawsuit over a fatal grizzly bear mauling near Yellowstone National Park.
A 430-pound male grizzly mauled Erwin Evert of Park Ridge, Ill., in June 2010 and his widow has filed a $5 million wrongful death lawsuit against the government. It alleges that researchers were negligent in trapping a bear along a trail and close to cabins, and by prematurely taking down signs that warned passers-by of their work in the area.
The federal government has filed a motion to dismiss last week claiming immunity under a state law - the Wyoming Recreation Use Act. The law says that property owners don't have to warn recreationists about possible dangers on the land.

If you have kids, you know creativity, active playing, and free thinking are all crucial elements for developing minds. Imagination Playground, built on this idea, will be on the High Line this Saturday. It's a great chance for kids to play in a whole new way!
Here's how it works. "Imagination Playground in a box" will arrive at the park as a kit of giant foam blocks, mats, wagons, fabric, crates, and other materials. Kids are then invited to use the objects to dream up their own playground — and then build it. It's an excellent way to encourage creativity and activity, and promises to be a lot of fun.
"Imagination Playground in a box" was designed by architect David Rockwell, and is offered free on the High Line thanks to a partnership with KaBOOM!

Don't spoil your summer fun with food illness
Summer usually signifies lots of picnics, parties and other outdoor events, with most featuring all kinds of delicious food and drinks. To ensure that partygoers will enjoy the feast safely, there are a few important steps people should take when shopping for, preparing, storing and serving their summer dishes. Rick Kralj, food safety and quality extension educator with Penn State Extension's Brookville office, offered some key pieces of advice for food safety in the summertime: 1. Avoid "time-temperature abuse." Kralj said allowing refrigerated products to come to room temperature can allow bacteria to grow and make people sick when they ingest the food. This can particularly be an issue when shopping and putting products into a hot car or when the trip home will take some time. "Take a cooler or ice -- have a means to keep those projects refrigerated until you can get them back into your refrigerator," Kralj said. "Pathogens, whether they're bacteria or viruses, love to have the opportunity to grow at room temperature. If we can follow good practices of picking up that product from our grocery stores and putting it in a controlled environment, it helps us control that temperature and bacteria growth." He also recommends not overloading the refrigerator: When things are packed in too tightly, the air doesn't circulate through the unit properly and items toward the front or on the door will be warmer than they should be. Temperature is key to maintaining food safety, and Kralj said it's a good idea to purchase a thermometer to gauge whether the refrigerator is sufficiently cool for safe food storage. "The ideal safe temperature range is to maintain a range between 38 and 41 degrees," Kralj said. "There's a lot of people that may be having their refrigerators above 41 degrees, which provides opportunities for pathogens to grow." Another thing to consider is the time frame between taking the food out of the refrigerator, preparing it and serving it. Kralj said food preparation of perishable items is best done quickly. "When you bring perishable products out to work with them, don't let those perishable products stay out for more than two hours-- milk, raw meats-- those items that are meant to be under refrigeration," he said. Some foods that have already been prepared may be more likely to be the cause of a food-borne illness. "Commercially, we refer to a term called 'ready-to-eat' items-- tuna salad, chicken salad-- those items that won't be heat-treated again after preparation. Those are the items that make people sick the most in the summer," Kralj said. "To avoid the potential for someone to become sick from your potato salad, make sure you have a way to keep it chilled when taking it to your event. Put it on ice or find another means to keep the bottom surface surrounded by ice to maintain the safety of that product."He said that one particular ingredient-- mayonnaise is commonly named as a culprit-- is not necessarily to blame when people get sick. "The features of what makes a product unsafe is if we give it [bacteria] the right conditions to grow," Kralj said. "Any item can be a potential risk." 2. Avoid cross-contamination. "From the point of picking up your groceries, avoid placing raw meats in the same containers with produce. Those raw meats need to be bagged separately, maybe even stored in a separate container so that those potential contaminants don't cross-contaminate items that won't be heat-treated or go through a cooking application, such as produce," Kralj. "We've seen that in recent events" he said, referring to news reports of people getting sick from reusing grocery bags that were cross-contaminated due to the previous user placing incompatible items together. "We just want to make sure that those ingredients, those raw meat products that need to be cooked, need to be handled carefully so they don't transfer their pathogens onto a product that's not going to be heat-treated," Kralj said. 3. Where you store things in the refrigerator makes a difference. "Our refrigerators aren't designed correctly-- we put all of our produce in the crisper in the bottom and store our meats on the upper shelves-- the juices can leak down into that and contaminate produce, and sometimes we don't even see it," Kralj said. "Storage can be the reason they [people] got sick."He said raw meats should be stored in their packages, possibly on a tray, in lower parts of the refrigerator so that their juices can't leak out onto other products. 4. Great grilling begins with safe practices. Kralj said don't let meats sit out a long time prior to grilling. Marinades are fine, he said, as long as they are properly applied. "If you're using or basting with any sort of marinade, if that raw meat has been marinated in those juices, you can baste that product with the marinade, but you can't add that marinade on that product just as it's coming off the grill," Kralj said. He also said finishing the meat with raw marinade that was in the bag or bowl can easily spread unwanted bacteria. Bringing the marinade to a boil and cooking it thoroughly before serving, however, will allow it to be safely used as a sauce for the meat. It is said over and over again, but ensuring meat is properly cooked is one of the best ways to prevent a food-borne illness. "The safety of the product really lies in making sure that that meat item gets cooked to the right internal temperature," Kralj said, adding that every type of meat has a correct internal temperature that it should reach in order to be considered thoroughly cooked. He recommended purchasing a meat thermometer to gauge the correct temperature. "Lots of consumers don't take internal temperatures of the meat product and don't realize that undercooked meat, particularly ground meats, can be very high-risk products, particularly for the very young and old," he said.

CALABASAS, Calif. & SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2004--Artisan Components, Inc. (Nasdaq:ARTI), a leading provider of semiconductor intellectual property (IP), and Fulcrum Microsystems, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company providing low-latency switch chips based on high-speed clockless circuit technology, today announced Fulcrum successfully used Artisan's Capstone(TM) analog/mixed-signal IP in its high-speed PivotPoint(TM) switch chips. The PivotPoint design, the first SPI-4.2 switch chip, delivers highly integrated gigahertz silicon that consumes less than fifty percent (50%) of the power of comparable ASICs and FPGAs.
The announcement is significant because it demonstrates integration of synchronous and asynchronous circuits in a complex, high-speed device. PivotPoint contains 30 million asynchronous transistors connected to other chips by six synchronous SPI-4.2 ports that are composed of nearly 100 pairs of LVDS interfaces, based on Artisan IP and each capable of operating up to 450 MHz. The result is a device that has the low power, low latency, and high-performance benefits of asynchronous technology but that integrates onto a board using industry-standard synchronous interfaces.
Fulcrum required easy to use, silicon-proven analog and mixed-signal IP into its advanced chipset designs. Artisan's silicon-validated IP solutions that have a proven track record for providing easy to implement analog and mixed-signal functionality into advanced IC designs met Fulcrum's requirements. Fulcrum selected Artisan's analog PLLs (phase-locked loops), LVDS specialty and general-purpose I/Os for TSMC's 0.13-micron process.
"Working with providers that enable us to reduce time to market and silicon risks is paramount to our continued success," said Mike Zeile, vice president of marketing for Fulcrum Microsystems. "Artisan's high quality, process-optimized IP easily integrated into our complex asynchronous designs in less time than expected and we achieved first-pass silicon to meet time to market requirements."
"Integrating Artisan's silicon-proven Capstone analog/mixed signal IP gives customers like Fulcrum the confidence to focus their resources on the differentiating aspects of their design," said Callan Carpenter, vice president and general manager of Artisan's Analog/Mixed Signal Business Unit. "The outstanding performance achieved by Fulcrum through their innovative clockless technology illustrates this point nicely."
About Fulcrum Microsystems
Fulcrum Microsystems, Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company. Building on research from California Institute of Technology, Fulcrum is developing a series of standards-based chips leveraging its patented high-performance, low-power "clockless" semiconductor design methodology.

The Surf Also Rises
How macho movies get misread as homoerotic.
Read more from Slate's Summer Movies.
The most famous thing ever written about surfing, Tom Wolfe's essay, "The Pump House Gang," doesn't have much to do with surfing. Instead, Wolfe focuses on the hostility between adult society and surfing understood as an outsider cult and defined, more or less, by mindless adolescence. This is a strange position for Wolfe (of all people) to take, since embedded within actual surf culture is something that should be right up his alley: an elaborate, informal, borderline inscrutable code of masculine status.
Many high-quality surf spots are governed by a "pecking order," for example. And those who surf the biggest, most dangerous waves are called "hellmen" and "gladiators." So it's no surprise that—despite all the clichés about blissed-out surf-stoners—the most serious and ambitious surf movies convey a traditional, indeed heroic ethos. And it's probably no surprise that they sometimes share a peculiar fate with other films that offer idealized portraits of heroic masculinity, such as this year's 300—the tendency to have clueless film critics misread them as "homoerotic."
Among surfers, John Milius' Big Wednesday (1978) is widely viewed as the best nondocumentary surf film ever made. The movie follows three California surfers—talented Matt (Jan-Michael Vincent), crazy Leroy (Gary Busey), and sensible Jack (William Katt)—as they pass from adolescence to adulthood in the 1960s. The film's crucible is the Vietnam War. The whole crew gets draft notices, and they all feign lunacy to avoid service, but nobody questions the war itself. Big Wednesday, with its conservative director,conveys something else: the disdain that many California surfers of the 1960s held for hippie culture. There's a withering scene in which Matt and his wife sit down for lunch at their favorite diner, only to find that hippies have turned it into a health food restaurant. From start to finish, Big Wednesday is a film about loss and decline, but nothing in the film so pungently signifies the enveloping Waste Land as a hairy waiter in a tie-dyed tank top serving up bean sprout sandwiches.
When Big Wednesday finally arrives, the three friends meet at the beach and turn wordlessly to face "the Great Swell" and walk, as if into battle, toward the surf. At the end of the day, they part, after a round of bare-chested bro-hugs, pausing—wordlessly again—to take in the monster waves still slamming on the outside. (HBO's wonderful John From Cincinnati examines this type from a different angle, asking the question: What happens when such laconic surf-macho runs headfirst into several generations of pain?)
If Big Wednesday is the most serious surf film ever made, Katherine Bigelow's Point Break (1991)is surf cinema's biggest missed opportunity. Roughly based on Tapping the Source, Kem Nunn's acclaimed "surf-noir" novel, Point Break—with a studio budget and an able director—could have nailed the visual splendor of surf and surfing in the same way it nails its sky diving sequences. (Point Break, weirdly, is the best sky diving movie ever.) However, as Thad Ziolkowski noted recently in Slate, Bigelow botches the surfing. She has surfers changing stances and conversing on waves, Gidget-style, and, most egregiously, she has churning left-hand waves magically changing into churning right-hand waves.
But if it's a loving examination of masculine status you want, it doesn't get mas macho than Point Break. Keanu Reeves plays hotshot FBI agent and ex-college football star Johnny Utah, who takes up surfing in order to investigate a string of theatrical bank robberies. He meets Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), a sort of dreamy New Age badass and the acknowledged alpha dude among a likable clutch of hard-core surfers, who might also be the bank robbers he's looking for. Their macho pas de deuxstarts with a beach football game, when, as far as anyone knows, Johnny is just some anonymous cat hanging around and learning to surf. At the end of one play, Johnny slams Bodhi into the white water, and the only person who doesn't get all up in Johnny's grill is Bodhi himself. He just stands up, shakes the wet hair from his eyes, and, with a delirious look of gratitude on his face, asks his overprotective friends, "Don't you know who this is?" (It's the most excellent Johnny Utah, my little droogs.) For a certain viewer, who has a weakness for the unironic pleasures of the heroic encounter, this is a delicious moment of recognition.
But sophisticated critics routinely dismiss this sort of quasi-heroic cinematic friendship as "homoerotic," and they do so with such offhand certainty that it's easy to miss how doltishly unimaginative this interpretation is. Indeed, claiming a macho film friendship is not-so-secretly gay has become its own kind of silly convention, a fake-subversive cliché. It is better—sounder both aesthetically and sociologically—to view the masculine pathos in films like Point Break in light of the tradition of heroically minded philosophy that runs from Aristotle to Nietzsche. If Point Break is homoerotic, in other words, then so is Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. Indeed, the thing that connects Johnny and Bodhi is precisely the thing that Hegel says distinguishes the Master from the Slave: The master prefers death to a life without honor and beauty, a life of mere survival. (And, just to be clear, we're talking about Hegel's idealized view of slave-taking as a convention in ancient Greek warfare—soldier versus soldier. Not the modern trade in African slaves.)
The frisson of attraction that abides in the Johnny-Bodhi standoff is erotic, all right. But it isn't homosexual desire. It's narcissism, the delight of seeing one's rare magnificence in someone else. The fact that Johnny and Bodhi operate on different sides of the law only highlights their mutual identification. Johnny is drawn across that line not because he wants to have sex with Bodhi, but because he wants to be Bodhi—or, more accurately, because he is Bodhi. If this isn't obvious enough, Johnny's new girlfriend, Tyler (Lori Petty), who is also Bodhi's ex-girlfriend, says it repeatedly.
A good way of grasping how the claim of homoeroticism misfires sociologically comes from a more recent example: the Spartan blood bath 300. Critic after critic sneered that 300 was transparently homoerotic. Blogger Andrew Sullivan approvingly cited a (presumably gay) correspondent who wrote, "Everyone in the film is gay." Why? Because of those short shorts and all those exposed muscles. (The correspondent dug the movie because of the hot, sweaty men. Ergo, everyone dug the movie because of the hot, sweaty men. I hope the entanglement of this interpretation in a hermeneutic circle is obvious.)
Now, 300 has earned more than $200 million in America alone, from an overwhelmingly male audience. What more plausibly accounts for this? That 20 million closet cases snuck off to see an illicit fantasy about bare-chested men in Hellenic Speedos, or that young men from the vast heartland of this very conservative, Christian, pro-military country flocked to see an unabashedly heroic tale of Occidental, republican military glory? To believe the latter, all you have to accept is that, in imagining the sort of heroic figures they themselves would like to be, straight men would project onto them not just excellence but physical beauty. Shouldn't a guy be able to do such a thing without being called gay?

Double T
|Double T
|The Lost and Damned.
The Lost and Damned
The Ballad of Gay Tony
|Vehicle type
|Civilian motorbike
|Body style
|Sports bike
|Two (driver and passenger)
|Dinka (GTA IV)
The Dinka Double T is a motorcycle featured in the The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony episodic contents for Grand Theft Auto IV, as well as Grand Theft Auto V. The "Dinka" logo cannot be found on the bike itself, but the police refer to the bike as a "Dinka Double T".
The bike is most likely based on a Honda CBR1000RR. The bike is one of several gang vehicles ridden by the Uptown Riders.
The Double T Custom is a more powerful variant of the Double T with a bit different model and vinyls. The custom version is considerably more stylish and faster.
Although it is fashioned as a high speed bike, the Double T's performance is more towards the lower end of the speedbike range, but still outperforms the vast majority of choppers in The Lost and Damned.
The Double T's engine is considerably powerful, allowing the bike to reach a top speed of 135 kph/83 mph; while the bike can accelerate considerably well, its first and second gears are fairly sluggish, preventing the bike from achieving its potential speeds when ridden in conditions that demand numerous cornering. Its poor, high-revving low gears are thus the Double T's only primary weakness as this makes the bike unideal for getaways given police vehicles can catch up to the player and push the player's bike while it is at mid first gear. Nevertheless, the bike's raw power makes it suitable for races.
In terms of handling, the bike's compact build and light weight gives the bike significant nimbleness, allowing it to corner more tightly, brake better, and perform wheelies and endos/stoppies easier.
- TT is the common abbreviation for Tourist Trophy, a reference to the famous Isle of Man Tourist Trophy race, one of the most famous motorcycle races in the world.
- When the player calls Clay to order a Double T, Johnny refers to it just as a "Double".
- The Double T plays the radio station The Beat 102.7 by default when entered.
- The Lost and Damned
- Can be found around parts of Northwood, driven by the Uptown Riders.
- Available to obtain by calling Clay, although after a certain mission.
- The Ballad of Gay Tony
- Can only be found in Alderney, most commonly in Westdyke.
- Can occasionally be found parked around back of the large mansion next to "Cloe Parker's Mansion", the largest mansion in the middle of Owl Creek Avenue in Westdyke, Alderney.
- Spawns in The Ballad of Gay Tony's multiplayer.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. - The Air Zoo honored volunteer Richard "Rick" Cahow with the 2012 Volunteer of the Year Award on Dec. 6 for his outstanding commitment and service to the museum.
Cahow, 64, of Portage, began volunteering at the Air Zoo in 1979, helping in a variety of areas.
"Rick is an invaluable asset to the Air Zoo," said Tamra Stafford, volunteer and community resources manager. "He has a wealth of knowledge about aircraft and genuinely enjoys sharing it with fellow volunteers and visitors. He always strives to provide the best possible experience to each and every guest."
Cahow oversees the educational component of the Air Zoo's docent training program. He instructs a 10-week docent class twice a year, which teaches volunteers about the museum's aircraft and how to give tours.
In addition to serving on the docent advisory council, Cahow assists with the Air Zoo's open cockpit program. He was recognized by the Kalamazoo County Excellence in Education program nine times during his 40-year tenure as an educator with Kalamazoo Public Schools. In 2011, he received the State History Educator Award from the Historical Society of Michigan.

TALLAHASSEE — Call it the Economic Miracle That Wasn't.
Florida's ongoing claims for unemployment benefits plummeted to the lowest level in six years from mid October to early December. The average of 20,000 fewer weekly claims from the prior nine weeks represents a plunge of 18 percent, the sharpest decline in 15 years.
Yet rather than herald an improving job market, chalk up Florida's shrinking claims numbers instead to the troubled debut of the state's unemployment claims website, CONNECT.
Since its October launch, the $63 million website has been plagued by glitches, sowing confusion and despair among many of the 235,000 claimants who file every other week to help pay for essentials like food and rent. Difficulties in logging on or navigating CONNECT have precluded thousands from collecting.
"I'm about to be thrown out on the street," said Allen Schwalb of Seminole, who was laid off from a warehouse job in October but as of last week had yet to receive any benefits despite many attempts to file. "The state now owes me $1,400 for eight weeks of unemployment. I don't know what I will do if I don't receive it soon."
It wasn't supposed to be like this. The state hired Minneapolis-based Deloitte Consulting in 2011 to upgrade and improve its claims system, which was more than 30 years old and rife with inefficiencies. The upgrades were supposed to modernize Florida's system and ultimately save millions in processing costs.
Midway through the CONNECT project, however, Deloitte lagged behind schedule. Last year, Department of Economic Opportunity officials considered firing Deloitte, which had well-publicized troubles with similar overhauls of unemployment sites in California and Massachusetts.
In response to a threat to terminate the contract, Deloitte switched project managers and hired more people in Tallahassee.
• • •
Upon going live Oct. 15, the CONNECT site struggled anyway.
Unemployment offices were packed with those who said they couldn't log on. Phone lines were jammed. Calls were dropped. Frustration grew. Thousands of complaints flooded the offices of Gov. Rick Scott, state lawmakers and DEO officials who oversee the website. Scott's 2014 challenger for governor, Charlie Crist, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson and state Rep. Irv Slosberg, D-Boca Raton, all called for an investigation.
The DEO's executive director, Jesse Panuccio, initially blamed the media for exaggerating problems.
"Some of the press stories about CONNECT have been incomplete and focused on a narrative that is more likely to grab readers than to accurately report facts," Panuccio told the Senate's Commerce and Tourism Committee on Nov. 4.
By December, however, Panuccio conceded all was not going well. The project was no longer meeting expectations. He posted messages on the DEO's website acknowledging difficulties. After a tour of the DEO's Orlando office, Panuccio agreed his employees needed better information about what ailed the website so they could help claimants. On Dec. 20, the state announced that it began enforcing a $15,000-per-business day penalty against Deloitte and was withholding $3 million from the vendor. It will be paid when CONNECT is "fully functioning."
"While Deloitte has made progress over the last few weeks, and many claimants are able to process claims without incident, the bottom line is that the overall system is still not working properly and the base code has not been stabilized," Panuccio said in a release. "The people of Florida deserve better and, after two months, Deloitte's failure to provide this functionality is simply unacceptable."
• • •
After enduring weeks without benefits, some claimants are barely hanging on. Valory Greenfield, staff attorney for Florida Legal Services in Miami, said last week that reports of recipients being evicted or having their vehicles repossessed continue to grow.
"The drop in claims is so dramatic and so precisely coincides with the launching of CONNECT that there can be no other explanation," Greenfield said. "This is having an effect on a huge group of people. We're very disappointed in the length of time it's taken to get these people their benefits."
Rod Ewing, who lives in New Tampa, said it took him weeks to get paid $1,100 in claims that he needed to pay bills. After several failed attempts to register online, he said he was called this month by a DEO administrator who fixed the problem after asking one basic question: whether or not he had worked after filing for his claims.
"That's all it took, but the website wasn't able to do it," Ewing said. "I'm very angry at what the state put me through with all the anxiety and late fees on car payments and my bank account balance. If I hadn't been living with my girlfriend, I would have been homeless."
Florida is notoriously tight-fisted when it comes to unemployment benefits, which makes CONNECT's failings even more glaring.
The state's proportion of unemployed people who actually get jobless benefits was 16 percent in 2012, the lowest in the nation. Because of a 2011 law passed by the Legislature and signed by Scott, recipients must register online, a requirement that a federal report found earlier this year violated the civil rights of the unemployed.
"Florida in the last few years has made it virtually impossible to access benefits," said Maurice Emsellem, a staff director with the National Employment Law Project. "The digital divide is a reality, so why on earth would you require to register online? It's not fair access."
With his back claims finally paid, Ewing must now worry about surviving without benefits.
Florida is one of six states that provides job-seekers fewer than 26 weeks of coverage. Now offering 19 weeks, Florida will drop to 16 weeks starting in January. Under Florida law, the lower the unemployment rate (which has fallen to 6.4 percent), the fewer weeks of compensation an unemployed person receives.
Once federal unemployment compensations expire, coverage for Ewing and 73,000 other Floridians is immediately eliminated.
"I don't know what I'm going to do next," Ewing said. "With no money coming in, my plans are to continue to look for work. And pray."

Amid lobbying from the Jewish community, the Wake County school board voted Tuesday to give traditional-calendar students the day off on Yom Kippur in 2015 in recognition of the day's religious and cultural importance.
The school board also adopted Tuesday a legislative agenda that urges the General Assembly to raise teacher pay this year. At the same time, board members said they'll continue to fight for the local pay raises that Wake County Manager Jim Hartmann did not include in his recommended budget.
The calendar vote, including Yom Kippur as a teacher workday, came after speakers said that forgoing classes on Yom Kippur would show respect for minority communities. An imam from the Islamic Center in Raleigh was present to show support for not having school on Yom Kippur, as Sept. 23, 2015, is also a religious holiday for Muslims.
"When you consider minorities in your teacher workday selection, you consider the development of all of our children," said Rabbi Lucy Dinner, senior rabbi of Temple Beth Or in Raleigh. "It is one thing for an adult to discern when and how to express ourselves as minorities – whether that be a minority religion, or minority culture, or minority preference. But for our children, it is more complicated than that."
Observance wins out
On teacher workdays, students don't have classes. Teachers can get permission to take off some workdays. Wake builds in 15 workdays before classes start, during the school year and after classes end.
If Wake had opted to hold school on Yom Kippur, students would have been able to get an excused absence for religious reasons.
Each year, a school district committee made up of teachers, principals, administrators, parents and community members develops a schedule for traditional-calendar schools, which educate the majority of Wake's 153,000 students. The committee has historically tried to schedule a teacher workday on either Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, or Rosh Hashanah, the start of the Jewish New Year.
The first 2015-16 school-year calendar proposed by the committee had a workday on Yom Kippur. However, school board member Bill Fletcher questioned that choice because it would fall on a Wednesday, a schedule he said would be inconvenient for families.
In response, administrators began developing calendars that would move the Yom Kippur workday to a different day. The potential changes mobilized the Jewish Federation of Raleigh-Cary to urge the school board to keep the Yom Kippur workday.
Administrators said they had presented three calendars to the calendar committee and to the superintendent's Teacher Advisory Council. Both groups backed the calendar that kept the workday on Yom Kippur.
The 2015-16 calendars were approved on an 8-1 vote with Fletcher the lone dissenter. Board chairwoman Christine Kushner cited the support for the calendar from staff and teachers and the impact on attendance if school was scheduled on Yom Kippur.
"It's an issue of attendance," Kushner said after the meeting.
Teacher raises supported
Some of the most impassioned comments from board members came over the issue of raising teacher pay.
The school board is asking the Wake County Board of Commissioners for a $39.3 million increase in the fiscal year that begins in July, with $29.1 million going toward giving all school employees a 3.5 percent pay raise. On Monday, Hartmann, the county manager, recommended giving the school system a $10.2 million increase.
On the raise, Hartmann said the county would wait to see whether legislators approve Gov. Pat McCrory's teacher pay increase. But school board members said that the county needs to act regardless of what the state does.
"Excellence in all of our schools starts with a quality teacher in every classroom," school board vice chairman Tom Benton said. "And if we can't step up to the plate to make sure that we're providing the resources so that not just the citizens of Wake County can have that as an expectation, but everybody in North Carolina can have that as an expectation, then we're failing as a society."
The school board's legislative agenda for the General Assembly's short session includes recommendingthat the body:
• Raise teacher pay to make North Carolina nationally competitive.
• Provide funding for pay raises for all school employees.
• Repeal the requirement that school districts offer pay raises to 25 percent of teachers in exchange for educators' giving up tenure rights.
• Keep the Common Core state standards for at least seven years.
• Place a moratorium on providing public funding for students to receive vouchers to attend private schools.

On Friday, October 19, 2012, Jayden Banda, a 5-year old victim of horrendous child abuse, was presented at St Francis Hospital in a pulseless, non-breathing state by his mother. The victim's body was covered in bruises. His heartbeat was restored and he was soon transferred to Children's Hospital in critical condition. A few days later, the child succumbed to serious internal injuries and died.
Because it was immediately believed that the child would likely die, the early investigation of this case by Sensitive Crimes Division personnel was critically important to the criminal prosecution. Moreover, the circumstances made the investigation particularly challenging. Despite the challenges, Sensitive Crimes Division investigators obtained critical evidence, arrested both suspects, and located the scene of the crime within hours.
Specifically, Detective Gerlin Dunn responded to St Francis Hospital and later to the victim's residence. She obtained important statements from witnesses and video evidence related to the crime that was all critical to the establishment of probable cause for the arrest of both suspects.
Detective Tammy Tramel-McClain responded to Children's Hospital, where she was faced with the challenge of dealing with the deceptive mother while the mother's boyfriend (the second suspect) was somewhere on the vast hospital grounds. Detective Tramel-McClain coordinated the efforts of uniformed back-up and hospital security. She soon had both suspects in custody.
Detective Jon Charles interviewed the victim's mother soon after her arrival at Central Booking. His skilled interviewing techniques resulted in his securing consent to search the victim's home. He immediately searched the home and recovered important physical evidence. Detective Charles then offered a thorough and complete briefing to SCD Day Shift personnel that allowed for the seamless pursuit of the investigation.
The efforts of these highly skilled investigators ensured that the individuals responsible for this horrible crime will be held accountable for their actions. Sensitive Crimes Detectives routinely demonstrate the highest degree of professionalism despite the emotional toll these investigations take on all those involved. We are grateful for their service and we salute their efforts.

Woman assaults son, grandson with samurai sword, police say
Woman assaults son, grandson with samurai sword, police say
A 45-year-old woman is accused of assaulting her adult son and 2-year-old grandson with a samurai sword.
Mechelle Diane Willis got into an argument with her son before swinging a sheathed samurai sword at her son's head, police said. Her son was holding her grandson at the time. Both were hit by the sword and suffered minor injuries. They were treated at a hospital and released.
Willis was booked in the Gaston County jail Monday night. She is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, assault with a minor present and assault on a child. Her bond was set at $10,000.

...The fact that you are talking about a tiebreaker somewhat alleviates this...
elrountree wrote:Matt:
Are you talking about 35 PPG over the course of an entire tournament that is true round-robin, or one that has several divisions of teams? If it is the former kind of tournament, then state so explicitly; if it is the latter one, then your argument holds little weight since common opponents must be factored into any metric attempting to break a tie between 2 teams with identical records. A 35 PPG differential means little, if anything, if the only common opponent between Team A and Team B is the other one. Team A may have played some of their 6 Divisional games against Middle School teams while Team B played games against Dorman B, Charter C, RM D, among others? 35 PPG more for Team A means very little if they finish with the same record as Team B, but lost to them head-to-head. If I am missing some piece of your argument, please clarify your post.
To continue with sports analogies, there is overwhelming evidence that the Patriots were the best team in the NFL last year. However, that does not mean that they should be considered the NFL Champions. Titles and playoff berths go to teams that earn them through criteria decided ahead of time, not to teams that prove themselves the greatest statistically.
I think that it is actually useful to determine how predictive any given stat is in the outcome of any given game (in order to better quantify "upsets" for instance). However, seeing what you are actually trying to do now, this seems to be a project reserved for a later time.Captain Scipio wrote:Dwight: I think you're misunderstanding the nature of what I'm proposing to do here. We don't want to compare W-L because that isn't a tiebreaker; only W-L against the same team. We can easily determine how predictive, for example, PPG differential is in the outcome of any game, but that isn't very useful because we can't make the same comparison to head-to-head unless in the case of a repeat matchup, which means we can't isolate the other factors (so no direct comparison can be made.) Only in the case of a repeat matchup can we isolate all the factors. Also, the fact that the tie-breakers are correlated isn't important; the proposed measurement measures only the differences between them.
Captain Scipio wrote:I'll add the caveat that I'm currently confused about one thing in these data: how can a team hold points per game but not point difference if they've played the same number of games? Perhaps I've misunderstood what Dwight meant by point differential; I took that to mean difference in total points scored. Dwight, please let me know what's up; I can update this easily to reflect whatever changes.
This is exactly what I meant, and exactly what I think that statistic means (which is why it would be useful as a tiebreaker).hwhite wrote:If Team A has 350 PPG and 275 PPGA while Team B has 300 PPG and 200 PPGA, then Team A has higher PPG while Team B has higher point differential. Usually that means that Team B is better at answering tossups (hence less chance for the opponent to score) but worse at bonuses (hence lower PPG).
cvdwightw wrote:Harry, can you elaborate about the margin of error? I think Mike is saying exactly that when he claims that no statistic significantly outperforms any other, though he hasn't quantified that significance/error.
Considering that this is just from one small, isolated circuit that doesn't run a lot of tournaments (as compared to, say, the Midwest), we should be able to find (hopefully) a near-equivalent amount of data from the Midwest, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast circuits. Plus, there's an entire high school circuit, if we can find small enough tournaments that run double RR or single RR + playoff brackets. I'd say it's feasible to get a sample size of ~200-250 games if we work at it and include anything between teams of the same record (not ideal, but hey, it's the best we can do if we're looking at 250 games).Schweizerkas wrote:Since error scales like 1/sqrt(n), this means we might need 6 times more data than we currently have. Whether that's feasible or not I don't know.
What does this even mean? All the proposed tiebreakers and combinations of tiebreakers hold the following: it is better to win a game than not, it is better to answer tossups than not, it is better to answer bonus parts than not. We're using West Coast data because I know where those stats are and no one else has volunteered data.theMoMA wrote:Moreover, they have the benefit of being both intuitive and positive. It makes a lot of sense that the better team will score more points against common opponents, or score more points per bonus on a differing schedule. Furthermore, it's a positive tiebreaker; you start from zero and go up, there is a goalpost out there, and once you pass it and another team doesn't, you win the tiebreaker. Which is more appealing, that a team should strive to score as many total points and as many points per bonus as possible, or that a team should be hope that their margin of victory in one game (or some amalgamation of all of the proposed tiebreakers that historically boosts correlation by X%) was good enough that results from 1994 Wahoo Wars combined with data from Tartan Tussle XX will indicate that they have a 2.5% better chance of winning a follow-up game?
theMoMA wrote:I don't think we can work with the assumption that data trends in past quizbowl matches necessarily predict game results of future matches. I'm unconvinced that the body of quizbowl match results as a whole to this point represent the expected outcomes of matches to come, and I certainly reject outright the idea that a data set that mixes non-common and common-opponent schedules, is heavily skewed towards sketchily edited west coast sets, TRASH regionals, and IS set tournaments, and has a whole bevy other other problems has any useful extrapolative value whatsoever. These data stem from activities whose commonality barely extends past the use of questions and buzzers. Who says that stirring up all of these (or any other concoction) yields something that will be predictive for future quizbowl as a whole, or more importantly, any individual tournament?
theMoMA wrote:I hold that there is a hefty burden that resides with those who advocate using past data to remake the tiebreaker system, and that that burden is to show that there is a predictive relationship between what has happened in the past and what will happen in the future. Unless someone can show that one tiebreaker stands above the rest regardless of the type of questions, level of competition, a team's slate of opponents, and a plethora of other variables, I don't think we can safely use this kind of data at all.
Andrew, unless I'm horribly mischaracterizing your argument, you are appearing to state that we cannot use the data that we have because it is not at all useful. Do you agree with the following method:theMoMA wrote:I am not opposed to looking at data, I am opposed to assuming that the data are useful in describing the situation at hand, which I find a hefty precondition to looking at the data.
theMoMA wrote:You have not addressed my concerns, and your statement about error bounds reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what I'm saying. Your error bounds are useless outside of the data themselves. You've yet to show that these data have any value outside of themselves (ie, some kind of extraordinary power to predict future action), and until you do so, I will continue to reject what you're doing. I do hold that your data are useless, just like golf ball trajectory data are useless in determining who should win quizbowl tiebreakers. Until you show that the data are applicable to the situation at hand, I hold that we have no reason to assume that the data are valuable. When Dwight says "I argue that [feeding a bunch of data from past tournaments into a machine and coming up with a statistical tiebreaker] is independent of question quality and independent of strength of schedule, why on earth should we take him at face value? This is the major contention in using past data; you can't simply argue it away by putting "I argue" in front of an opinion.
Moreover, why would the burden be on me to get you data "to my liking"? I am the one making objections here; either find a way to counter them, find new data, or abandon your argument. Don't tell me that I have to counter my own argument for you. And stop mischaracterizing my argument. I am not opposed to looking at data, I am opposed to assuming that the data are useful in describing the situation at hand, which I find a hefty precondition to looking at the data.
I merely offer PPG and PPB as reasonable, intuitive, and positive. I am by no means saying that these are the only reasonable, intuitive, and positive tiebreakers that exist. The fact that some people see head-to-head as a legitimate tiebreaker doesn't do anything to my argument; those people can show up and convincingly justify their beliefs as such, which would only show that there can be more than one legitimate tiebreaker. Or they can be wrong. Neither of these possibilities undermines what I'm saying. I see no reason to accept the "other people believe differently and appeal to some of the same things you do, abandon your argument" argument.
It may very well be that the current mode of tiebreaking is an untested dogma, but you've got a responsibility to show that your test is actually the correct one. You haven't done anything to shift the burden back to me. Show that your data are meaningful, or be forced to submit to bottom-up instead of top-down tiebreakers.
Schweizerkas wrote:I've made a bit of progress on this.
Captain Scipio wrote:How hard would it be to make splits for, like, record or tournament type using your script?
T-test is used for sample means. Z-test is used for sample proportions. We're comparing proportions, not means. Really, the only criticisms that you can make are:cdcarter wrote:Dwight, Not to be a stats nitpicker, but you probably should be using a t-test here.

ATLANTA — He wears the same jersey number, comes from the same country and has a similar build.
Monday night at the Georgia Dome, backup LSU punter Jamie Keehn showed he can punt the football very much like Brad Wing as well.
Keehn punted nine times in LSU's 25-24 loss to Clemson, averaging 44.6 yards per boot and twice placing the ball inside the 20 yard-line.
"You can just see in his future, he's going to be a dynamic punter, just everything that we need," LSU coach Les Miles said. "This was a great experience for him."
Keehn, 6-foot-4, 222 pounds, got the chance to show off his powerful right leg because Wing was suspended for Monday's game after violating an unspecified team rule.
If his countryman opts to leave LSU for the NFL instead of returning for his junior season, the performance by Keehn may have very well been a preview of things to come.
Keehn, who competed in rowing and track and field at his Australian high school, arrived on LSU's campus in 2012 having very little experience as a punter.
Expected to spend his first season as a redshirt, Keehn instead served as LSU's punter for two games.
The freshman punted three times for a 41-yard average in the opener versus North Texas with Wing sidelined by a hamstring injury. Then came Monday night and the nine-punt effort.
Keehn's longest punt against Clemson was a 58-yarder in the second quarter.
"There were a couple I'd like to take back, but I think every punter has their ups and downs," Keehn said of his performance. "I've only been doing this for 18 months, so I know I have a long spring ahead of me and a lot of work to do."
Wing to wait a day
Wing tweeted Monday he'd decide his future with the LSU program on New Year's Day, but another message on his Twitter account Tuesday indicated he'd make the call Wednesday instead.
"Apologies, announcement will definitely be tomorrow," the Tuesday tweet read.
Wing just finished his sophomore season, but is eligible to enter the NFL draft because he has been in college for three years.
He averaged 44.8 yards on 59 punts in 2012 after earning All-America recognition as a freshman.
LSU vs. NFL
The deadline for college underclassmen to declare themselves eligible for the NFL draft is Jan. 15. A long list of LSU juniors likely to weigh their options includes defensive ends Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery, safety Eric Reid, linebacker Kevin Minter, cornerback Tharold Simon, defensive tackle Bennie Logan and running back Spencer Ware.
Miles said he and his coaching staff will do what they can to help the underclassmen with their decisions.
"We're going to sit down with them this week and give them all the information we can," Miles said. "It's certainly their call. The only thing I don't want to see happen is I want to make sure our guys are doing the right thing for them. I don't want to give the NFL a deal in any way."
Miles said returning to LSU would be a chance for the underclassmen to compete for a national title.
"Certain guys have a predisposed position there, some of which I'm certain will leave," he said. "But I can tell you that this is a team that could well be playing for the very finest honor. An opportunity to improve to do so is certainly what we're after."
What's the fuss about?
As the up-tempo Clemson offense gashed LSU in the final minutes of Monday's game, players from the LSU defense were helped off the field on several occasions, forcing a stoppage in play each time.
Miles said the players were in fact suffering from leg cramps and that the injuries were in no way a ploy to stall the Clemson attack.
He pointed to Clemson's 100-48 edge in plays run. He said being on the field so much took a toll on the LSU defense.
"There was no advantage to LSU to lay down on the ground there and allow them to gather their play and call their play with no duress," Miles said. "It was certainly not a ploy in any way. They (the Clemson coaches and fans) can get upset all they want. The reality of it is, one team played a hundred plays on defense and one team played 50."
Former New Orleans Saints general manager Randy Mueller was on hand to scout Monday's game for the San Diego Chargers. ... LSU's opening touchdown with 14:05 left in the first quarter marked its quickest score to start a game since Oct. 2, 2010, when Jordan Jefferson scored on an 83-yard run with 14:43 on the clock. ... LSU fell to 39-3 since 2009 when scoring 20 or more points. The loss broke a streak of 21 straight wins by the Tigers win reaching 20 points. ... LSU linebacker Lamin Barrow matched his career high with 12 tackles Monday. He also had 12 stops against Arkansas and South Carolina.

Good times. At the same time, I allowed our local cable company to talk me into their new DVR with all kinds of promised new features. What they didn't tell me (and I didn't think about it) is that my old DVR box had precious saved recorded TV shows.
I realized this when the cable guy was long gone, and I couldn't find my recorded shows. I'll skip past the melodramatics that ensued...the frantics calls to get my cable box back. Not gonna happen.
That meant, I had to set up all of my shows, that I don't want to miss, all over again. (Downton Abbey, come back soon, please.)
I found the America's Test Kitchen show in HD, and I set up to record the series. I gotta tell you-- I can fully appreciate how much better food looks in High-Def. This could be dangerous. Had I seen this recipe in a cookbook, I might have flipped right past the pages.
I'm committed to emptying out my hoard of frozen food in our upright freezer. (Am I waiting for the Apocalypse?) Why do I store so much? As luck would have it, I remembered that I had pork loin roast waiting to thawed. Perfect!
Butterflied Pork loin, stuffed with Fig Jam, Spinach and Feta. This time, I found that the instructions made butterflying very easy to do, myself! (Patting self on back.) The golden brown, buttery, garlic slices are spread inside the pork loin. Yum.
Herbes de Provence. These herbs can include savory, fennel, basil, thyme and lavender. You can make your own, but I can easily find this at grocery stores. I use this to season roasted potatoes, pork, chicken and vegetables. Delicious!
